Hello, I'm glad you're here. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, who believes therapy is a true collaboration built on trust, mutual respect, and safety. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, anger and impulse challenges, grief, identity, relationship dynamics, and the many transitions of women's lives, including pregnancy, postpartum, and maternal mental health. Whatever brings you in, my goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard and supported.
Hi, I'm Joella! With 18 years of dedicated experience as a Nurse Practitioner, I bring a wealth of clinical expertise and a deeply compassionate approach to mental health care. As a Florida native, I am committed to serving my community by offering flexible access to care, including evening and weekend hours, to ensure that support is available when you need it most.
My journey in healthcare is rooted in a dual-certification that allows me to view wellness through both a physical and emotional lens.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who takes a holistic and compassionate approach to therapy, supporting the mind, body, and spirit throughout the healing process. I believe people open up where they feel safest and most understood, so creating a comfortable, nonjudgmental environment is one of the most important parts of my work.
I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families in a variety of settings. I specialize in supporting clients navigating anxiety, depression, personality disorders, relationship challenges, substance use concerns, ADHD, behavioral challenges, family conflict, self-esteem issues, life transitions, and emotional regulation difficulties. I help clients better understand their emotions, patterns, and relationships while building healthier coping skills, stronger self-awareness, and greater confidence in themselves and their lives. I also value incorporating psychoeducation into sessions so clients feel empowered with both insight and practical tools they can apply outside of therapy.
My philosophy is that we are never too old to heal, grow, or rediscover joy. I strive to help clients turn pain into wisdom, reconnect with their strengths, and create meaningful change in their lives.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right therapist in Jacksonville starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Think about whether you want support for a specific concern — such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or trauma — or more general mental health care. From there, look for a licensed provider (such as an LMHC, LCSW, LMFT, or psychologist) who has experience with your particular needs. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide whether they might be a good match.
Jacksonville is home to thousands of licensed mental health providers, with options across neighborhoods like Southside, Riverside, Mandarin, Arlington, and the Beaches. Many offer both in-person and virtual sessions, so you can choose the format that fits your schedule. Whether you prefer to meet face-to-face at a local office or connect from home, there are providers available who can work with your preferences.
Therapy in Jacksonville can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per session. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
